Looks great!

I may indulge in red or blue for my white pearl.

Can you post info on the caliper paint you used?

Came out nice! I used the same G2 kit on my black IS350 just over a year ago and it still looks freshly painted! Great quality product for sure. Nice work

Looks great! Debating between red or yellow for my Nebula Grey Pearl. Did you use any DIY guides online?

Yes, follow the manufacturer guidelines to the letter. I did have to get all four wheels off the car, had all four brake calipers hanging on coat hanger wires, and made certain the calipers were clean and dry. As indicated in the paint instructions, use very thin coats. I was able to put on four coats, and it was the third coat of paint that covered all the original color. Due to the nature of the paint, you have a time limit needed between coats, again, follow the instructions and all will work out fine.
Enjoy,
Ray

Default calipers

I painted one front caliper on my nebula gray NX and did not like it. Just put on 2 coats. I took it off.

If you do yours in either color, please post so I can see how they look on the Nebula Gray Pearl
